(personal/to-do) Three day weekends rock!
I love three-day weekends, because I can do something Saturday, and Sunday just relax, then do more stuff on Monday and still not stress. Yesterday was my writer’s group, and I got some really good feedback on my stuff. More on that later. But today, as it’s so freaking cold out, I’m going to snuggle …
(writing) Just keep swimming…
I’ve just successfully completed Day 11 of the challenge over at www.750words.com – basically, it’s a month-long challenge of writing 750 words or more. I use the site for my morning pages – not really to write, but to brain dump for that day, before I actually begin my writing. It’s a practice that I’ve …
(guest post) A great guest post by JA Marlow on resolutions

(writing) Musings on writing
I’ve been doing morning pages for five days now over on www.750words.com and I’m starting to see the results already. Morning pages are something that Julia Cameron talks about in The Artist’s Way, which I highly recommend – basically, it’s a brain dump of writing, just writing anything for 15 minutes, or 3 pages, or (in …
(goals/recap) In with the new, out with the old
2012 is here. 2011 has left. While it wasn’t as bad a year for me as it was for some of my friends, I’m not sorry to see it go. It’s a new year, and that means a chance to look at what I’ve done in the past year, and what will be happening in …
(personal) Christmas wrap-up
Yeah, it’s the obligatory “Here’s what I got for Christmas!” post. But I really want to share! I was so lucky this year – my family listened to what I wanted, and what I didn’t know I wanted but did, and I got a ton of stuff that I’ll actually use this upcoming …
(writing) A Christmas Gift for you – Chapter 1 of The Strange Disappearance of Santa Claus
Merry Christmas! The Christmas story I’d planned to post (the Starchild one) is growing into a novella (I know, shocking), so instead, I thought I’d give you a sneak peek at the first chapter of the Schrodinger novel. Yes, I’m still calling it The Strange Disappearance of Santa Claus – the concept is changing a …
(books) Finally, the ebook of Snow is available again!
Yep, I’ve finally gotten it up! You can get Snow for a mere $0.99 for the month of December (it might go up after that, but I haven’t really decided) in all formats, DRM-free! And for those who want more goodies for those new Kindles, Nooks or smartphones that you’re all getting for Christmas, you …
(holiday) Happy Hannukah!
Happy Hannukah, everyone! Tonight we light the first candle and remember the miracle of the menorah in the Temple. And this is why I wish people Happy Holidays – because I personally celebrate more than one, dammit! image courtesy of Hellokids.com (Why yes, the entire “War on Christmas” nonsense pisses me off just a little, …
